SERANGOON was slow to begin. FOREVER FOLKS was also slow to begin and was then shifted across behind runners in the early stages. From wide barriers, PROSECCO and AESTHETICISM were also shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 400 Metres, PRESIDENT’S CHOICE was held up for clear running until after passing the 300 Metres and again over the concluding stages, when held up, shifted out and bumped with LUCKY ETERNITY. After passing the 400 Metres, LUCKY ETERNITY was held up for clear running before shifting out passing the 200 Metres and was again held up over the concluding stages. AESTHETICISM lay in under pressure over the concluding stages and in doing so momentarily tightened the running of PROSECCO approaching the winning post. LOOKING COOL raced wide and without cover throughout the race. After the race, L Ferraris (SMILING COLLECTOR) reported that his mount was not suited when the pace slackened mid-race. A veterinary inspection of SMILING COLLECTOR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of SUPER HONG KONG immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. LUCKY ETERNITY, CHANCHENG GLORY and AESTHETICISM were sent for sampling.
